- Profile
-
I am interested in how cochlear sensory cells age, and the mechanisms underlying age-related hearing loss. I developed a deep interest in auditory neuroscience in my PhD and subsequently joined as a postdoctoral researcher. To continue my passion in research, I acquired a fellowship to better understand hearing loss.
- Qualifications
-
MSc degree in Biotechnology at National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) and a PhD in Biomedical Science at the University of Sheffield (UK)
